Our "PhytoPlankton"plant-like, microscopic organisms that drift in water, forming the base of the marine food web. They are crucial for oxygen production and carbon cycling, playing a vital role in aquatic ecosystems. These tiny organisms are found in both freshwater and marine environments, thriving in the sunlit, upper layers where they can photosynthesize
*Please be advised: A well-balanced diet is required for maximum effectiveness; otherwise, you'll neutralize the effects or only reap minimal benefits.

What's the difference between Phytoplankton and Chlorella?
Key Differences
Phytoplankton
Type: Diverse marine microalgae species
Habitat: Marine (ocean)
Omega-3 Content: High (especially EPA - eicosapentaenoic acid)
Protein Content: Moderate
Chlorophyll Content: High (varies by species)
Detox Abilities: Mild to moderate
Antioxidants: Rich (e.g., SOD, carotenoids, glutathione)
Vitamin B12: Some species produce true B12
Common Use: Brain, heart, cell energy, anti-aging
Taste: Oceanic, sometimes fishy
Chlorella
Type:
Freshwater green microalga
Habitat:
Freshwater
Omega-3 Content:
Low (contains ALA, not EPA/DHA)
Protein Content:
Very high (up to 60%)
Chlorophyll Content:
Extremely high
Detox Abilities:
Strong binder of heavy metals
Antioxidants:
Also contains antioxidants (but less diverse)
Vitamin B12:
Contains B12 analogs (not all bioavailable)
Common Use:
Detox, immune, general nutrition
Taste:
Grassy, algae-like
*Together, they form a powerful synergy!
Antioxidant Properties
Free Radical Scavenger: Neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS), reducing oxidative stress.
Lipid Peroxidation Prevention: Protects cell membranes from oxidative damage.
Enzyme Enhancement: Boosts levels of antioxidant enzymes like SOD (superoxide dismutase), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
COX-2 Inhibition: Suppresses cyclooxygenase-2, an enzyme linked to inflammation and pain.
Downregulates Pro-inflammatory Cytokines: Reduces IL-6, TNF-α, and other inflammation markers.
Reduces Inflammatory Diseases: Potential benefits for arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel diseases.
Immune System Support
Stimulates White Blood Cells: Increases production of lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells.
Enhances Immune Response: Helps modulate the immune system (immunomodulatory effect) to maintain balance.
Antiviral Potential: Shows promise in inhibiting virus replication in preliminary studies.
Anticancer Activity (Early Research)
Induces Apoptosis: Triggers programmed cell death in certain cancer cells (e.g., colon, liver, leukemia).
Inhibits Tumor Growth: May slow the spread of tumors via antiangiogenic and cytotoxic mechanisms.
Synergistic Effects with Chemotherapy: Can enhance the efficacy of certain chemotherapeutic agents.
Neuroprotective Effects
Protects Neurons from Oxidative Damage: Especially promising for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s models.
Inhibits Neuroinflammation: Supports cognitive function and reduces neurodegenerative progression in studies.
Memory Enhancement: May aid in improving memory and learning capacity in aged animal models.
Liver Protection (Hepatoprotective)
Reduces Liver Enzyme Markers: Lowers ALT, AST, and ALP levels in cases of liver injury.
Protects Against Toxins: Shields the liver from chemical-induced damage (e.g., from acetaminophen or alcohol).
Improves Liver Regeneration: Promotes hepatocyte repair and regeneration.
Cardiovascular Health
Lowers LDL and Total Cholesterol: Promotes better lipid profiles.
Reduces Blood Pressure: Due to its vasodilatory and anti-inflammatory effects.
Improves Endothelial Function: Helps maintain healthy blood vessels and circulation.
Anti-Allergic & Antihistamine Effects
Blocks Histamine Release: Reduces allergy symptoms like nasal congestion and skin irritation.
Modulates Immune Reaction: Useful in allergic rhinitis and other IgE-mediated conditions.
Antimicrobial Activity
Inhibits Bacterial Growth: Shows activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Antifungal Effects: Some studies suggest it may inhibit fungal pathogens as well.
Energy and Vitality
Boosts Cellular Energy Production: May enhance mitochondrial function.
Reduces Fatigue: Often marketed in supplements for athletic endurance and recovery.
Supports Muscle Repair: Possibly aids muscle health through anti-inflammatory support.
Skin Health
Reduces UV Damage: Acts as a natural sunscreen and antioxidant.
Improves Skin Tone and Elasticity: Through protection against oxidative stress and inflammation.
Promotes Wound Healing: Encourages faster tissue regeneration in skin injuries.
Other Notable Properties:
Chelating Agent: Binds to heavy metals and may aid in detoxification.
Protects DNA and RNA: Prevents damage to genetic material under oxidative stress.

Brain health / neuroprotection
- Phycocyanin (PC)
Immune boost
- Phycocyanin (PC)
Skin protection / Anti-aging
- Phycoerythrin (PE)
Cancer prevention

*Together, they form a powerful synergy!
Take 1 to 2 capsule a day on an empty stomach, if possible, with spring water or organic fruit juice or take as needed. Do this once daily.
Additionally, ensure adequate hydration by consuming at least 64 oz. of spring water daily.
If your stomach is sensitive and you cannot take capsules on an empty stomach. I suggest you take the capsules 1-2 hours after a meal.
*Please be advised: A well-balanced diet is required for maximum effectiveness; otherwise, you'll neutralize the effects or only reap minimal benefits.

Powders & loose teas
Should be refrigerated after opening for longest freshness and potency.
Tinctures & capsules
Do not need to be refrigerated but should be stored in a cool, dark location (out of direct light).
This will ensure longest freshness and potency. Date reflected on the bottom of the bottle is the standard "expiration" date. If stored properly these products will last far beyond the recommended expiration date.
We take great pride in our packing and order accuracy, executing a multi-step accountability process to ensure your order is assembled with great care and is 100% correct!
We are also very mindful in our packaging and do our best to ensure your products arrive undamaged. Our liquid and capsule formulas are sold in amber bottles to protect the herbs inside from light. Glass bottles add to the shipping weight of the item but also ensures you receive the best possible and most potent product. In addition to the items themselves, the shipping weight also depends upon the packaging we use to protect the items during transport, and the dimensional weight of the package (because shippers using air services pay transportation fees based on the amount of space they rent).
